I have carefully analysed the Vastu attributes of each of these segments and has successfully worked out their placements in the hospital building.

To begin with, select the land for the hospital project according to Vastu principles of land selection . It is ideal to have a square site, because in a site with equal sides there is a uniform balance of energy.

A building whose height is 1.25 times more than its length is termed Paushtika which promotes health and vitality. This is an ideal length to height ratio for a hospital building.

Care should be taken that the height of each successive storey is decreased as per Vastu principles of designing.

Follow Vastu principles to plan the size of each section - all rooms, chambers, halls, OT, wards etc - in such a way that it yields the desired energy orientation. This is done by deciding the floor area, height and width of each room in accordance with the yoni system of Vastu and placing them in the appropriate direction.

Select propitious time according to vedic astrology to begin each important phase of construction, and for the opening of the hospital.

The Administrative, HRD and Corporate Resource Department should be in NW. Place all consulting chambers in NE. This is the best direction for diagnostic work.

All testing and analytical laboratoies - Radiology, Ultrasound, MRI, CT Scan, ECG etc - should be placed in West.However, clinical laboratories should be located in South.

Department of Nuclear Medicines, where nuclear isotopes are used for treatment of cancer and radioimmunotherapy, should be located in North

Similarly there are other positions which have been worked out for ICU, Dialysis, Pacemaker units, Physio- and Occupational Therapies, Wars for inectious and non-infectious diseases, Nursing stations, hospital kitchen, morgue, power backups, patients records, Central Sterile Supplies Departments, Waste Disposal Units, Parking ,and a host of other units.

Sleeping Position of the Patients

Earth's magnetic field travels from North Pole to South Pole. The patients should not sleep with their feet facing South. It is always advisable for them to sleep woth head facing South, beause it aligns the body with Earth's magnetic field and bringing their own energies into harmony with those of the Earth.

Avoid placing the bed of the patients directly under an exposed beam. Sleeping under an exposed beam delays speedy recovery.

Nor should the bed be placed under a window for it causes restlessness to the patient.

Do not place the bed between two doors as it is likely to aggravate the symptoms.

Do not place the bed with the head or foot pointed at a door. This position will delay the recovery.

Do not place the bed against the lavatory wall. It will make the patient more sick.

A prayer room in a modern hospital? Well, yes.

Numerous patients and their relatives who visit the hospital are religious and spiritual, and it is appropriate that they have access to a prayer room for offering prayers for a speedy recovery or as a regular habit. The best position of a prayer room is in North-Eastern part of the hospital, either near the entrance or just outside the main hospital building.
